Hi Kelli! You are doing great! Exercise serves your body more than just aiding in weight loss. It will help tone those muscles so you won't look so flabby. It helps relieve stress and gives your heart a good work out. It gets the blood pumping and flowing to all parts of your body. I really don't like exercise, but still try my best. I faked my body out tonight by playing tennis. I played 45 min hard core tennis and thought I would die! Even though I work out regularly at the gym - this was different - not to mention fun! As for eating, of course you are going to eat more. You tummy is healing/healed and food sits better. This is the part where you retrain yourself to pick the right type of foods. If you are hungry all day long - start out with protein in the morning. Nuts, eggs, peanut butter toast, meat, something to stick with you all day. Exercise then drink something like propel or a protein drink to fuel your body. Lastly - just enjoy the ride! Barbie 281/230/150ish

Hello Everyone- I was wondering what your intake was at this point. I am eating 8-900 calories per day, 80-100 gms protein, 30-40 gms of carbs, I have been on the treadmill EVERY day for 30 minutes. All of this is of course logged on fitday. I have been on a plateau for 2 weeks now and it's driving me crazy!!!!! I have lost 44.5 lbs and was really hoping to hit 50 by the 4 month mark.....doesn't look like it's happening!! Any input is appreciated! Lori 222/177.5/122? laprny 1-6-04 100 cm distal
